When RCN did the Analog Crush the notification to TiVo when perfectly. After I posted yesterday, jmirabella contacted me via IM to let me know that RCN was working on it. Seems the additonal HD channels in Chicago were not due to launch until Oct.1 but the trigger got pulled early, so the notifications to Tribune Media had not been submitted yet. As the RCN guys have always been a huge help on this board, I will take it as an honest mistake that they are working to correct.
I have TivoHD and I get all the new HD channels. I got them all on the same day the DVR got them.

Thank you for the clarification that the analog crush transition went smoothly with the TIVO. That makes me feel much better.

I still have a Series 2 TIVO connected to my lone cable box so if channels are added I can see them with my cable box. And I am less concerned with picking up new channels quickly than I am about having the new television season recorded properly without a hiccup.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21154775 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:39:00 EDT Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21154699 rcbrcb : When RCN did the Analog Crush the notification to TiVo when perfectly.

4 Days have now passed and the new HD channels STILL have not been registered with Tribune Media!! Seems to me there should be a process in place to make sure a week doesnt go by beofre this happens...Last time it took RCN 2 Weeks to file a new Lineup!

Those of us with HD TiVo's would like these channels as well!
Wow, what you are writing makes me nervous. I just bought two new HD TIVOs and had the cablecards installed yesterday. I am all ready for the switchover here in New York but what you write does not give me much hope for a smooth transition.

Who did you contact at TIVO and at RCN about this?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21154642 Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:08:54 EDT Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21154299 rcbrcb : Yes...This is great, thanks for replying!

I think this list is complete, I will admit I didnt look to see if there were any SD channels that were added..

639 Lifetime HD
641 ABC-Family HD
645 GREEN-HD
647 Disney-HD
648 Toon Disney - HD
653 FOX NEWS - HD
654 FOX Business - HD
683 ESPN News HD
693 NHL HD
694 Golf HD
701 HBO FAMILY HD
702 HBO 2 HD
703 HBO SIGNATURE HD
704 HBO ZONE HD
705 HBO COMEDY HD
711 MOREMAX HD
713 ACTION MAX HD
721 SHOWTIME TOO HD*

Showtime TOO was added as 721, which was originally TMC-HD (and is listed on the channel list still as that with RCN) TMC-HD was moved to channel 726.

Hope this helps.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21152850 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 23:32:43 EDT Re: [CATV] New HD Channels in Chicago http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21150924 rcbrcb : Suprise....Yet another day has gone by and RCN still has yet to file the new Chicago HD channels with Tribune Media. Those of us with HD TiVo's are SOL I guess....Shouldnt be that difficult, Tribune Media has even sent a request to RCN for the info and has gotten NO response....

Could one of the RCN customers who is using RCN receiver equipment pleasse post the channels with channel #'s that were added last week to the HD lineup in Chicago.
